Trying to initialize variables

[random0munky]

Hi, I'm having a little trouble with the introduction of the final modifier. I'm doing a bankAccount homework assignment, however I ran into my first problem.

public class BankAccount implements NamedAccount {
	
	private String name ;
	private double iRate ;
	private double balance ;
	
public BankAccount(final String nameOfOwner, final double interestRate) {
	
}

What I want to do is take nameOfOwner = name ; and interestRate = iRate ;
Except there's the final modifier in front of nameOfOwner and interestRate. Also I cannot change the method signature in anyway either.
So my question is, how do i do such a task =/ Thanks

You can't change the values of final variables once they are assigned. That is where they get get their name (final) from. You probably don't want to do nameOfOwner = name but name = nameOfOwner instead. The two are different.
